Mirae Asset Global Investments Surpasses 600 Trillion Won in AUM... Doubles in Two Years
Growth Driven by Global X and TIGER ETFs
Accelerating Investment Innovation Through Tokenization and AI
Expanding Across Pensions, OCIO, and Real Estate
Mirae Asset Global Investments announced on May 18 that its total assets under management (AUM) have surpassed 600 trillion won.
According to Mirae Asset Global Investments, the total AUM amounted to 624 trillion won as of the end of last month. The AUM, which stood at approximately 250 trillion won at the end of 2022, reached 300 trillion won in 2024 and 500 trillion won in 2025, indicating rapid growth.
This growth is attributed primarily to differentiated investment solutions tailored to global investor demand and a competitive product strategy. Notably, the ETF subsidiary 'Global X' has become a key pillar of the global business, focusing on thematic and income ETFs. Mirae Asset Global Investments currently manages a total of 747 ETFs across 13 markets, including Korea, the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Hong Kong, and Japan, ranking 12th in the global ETF market.
The company is also expanding its 'tokenized ETF' business in global markets. Tokenized ETFs are products that convert traditional ETFs into blockchain-based digital assets, enabling easier and more flexible trading. Thematic ETFs such as copper, uranium, and infrastructure are already being traded on global tokenization platforms, and the first covered call ETF in Hong Kong is scheduled to be launched in tokenized form in the third quarter. Mirae Asset Global Investments is also planning to list tokenized ETFs on global digital asset exchanges in the future.
In Korea, capital inflows continue across the entire "TIGER ETF" lineup. Core products such as "TIGER 200," "TIGER US S&P500," and "TIGER US NASDAQ100" are absorbing demand for pensions and long-term investment, establishing themselves as flagship index ETFs both domestically and internationally.
In terms of growth areas, the "TIGER Semiconductor TOP10 ETF" stands out. With a structure focused on large-cap stocks such as Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, it has outperformed the KOSPI during the semiconductor market recovery phase, resulting in a rapid increase in net purchases by individual investors. Net assets surged from 2 trillion won at the beginning of the year to 10.3 trillion won at the end of last month. It is currently ranked first among domestic equity thematic ETFs and third in total ETF net assets. Additionally, the growing demand for pension portfolio construction using TIGER ETFs is contributing to the growth of pension assets.
Moreover, Mirae Asset Global Investments strengthened its competitiveness in the public OCIO (Outsourced Chief Investment Officer) market by being selected as the lead manager for the pension fund investment pool last year and ranking first in the evaluation of dedicated management institutions for the Housing and Urban Fund this year. In real estate investment, the company recently attracted the global five-star hotel brand "JW Marriott" to Yeosu Gyeongdo, marking the first time in the Honam region. Mirae Asset Global Investments has also secured approximately half of the domestic core real estate blind fund, with contributions from the National Pension Service, Korea Post, and the Korea Federation of SMEs.
